The traditional cottage enjoys an idyllic location on The Machars Peninsula, boasting exquisite sea and countryside views. The peninsula is a paradise for history enthusiasts, with Bronze and Iron Age sites dotted throughout the area, and the walking opportunities are endless. The cottage sleeps five guests and two dogs, making it ideal for a relaxing family holiday. Spend time unwinding in the beautiful gardens, before heading inside to sip a wee dram by the wood burner.

The detached, single-storey property is bursting with character. With exposed stonework and traditional country-cottage decor, the holiday home has a lovely rustic charm throughout. The property is light and airy and the large picture windows make the most of the fabulous scenery, with many of the rooms benefitting from far-reaching rural views.

Kick off your walking boots in the hallway and head into the cosy lounge. Fire up the wood burner and sink into the plump sofa to watch TV, listen to music on the Bluetooth speaker or read a book. The country-style kitchen is a joy to cook in, with beautiful views and everything you need to rustle up a tasty meal. Come together for mealtimes in the formal dining room where, again, there are stunning views. When it’s time to say goodnight, choose from a charming double bedroom with an en-suite bathroom, or the delightful double which houses an additional single bed. Completing the holiday cottage is a handy shower room.

French doors lead from the lounge onto the large, decked area to the front of the property. This is the perfect spot to take in your fabulous surroundings; fire up the BBQ for evenings of great food under the stars. To the rear, there’s a pretty, mature garden where children and dogs can play (just be sure to supervise them near the pond). There is off-road parking for three cars.
